    15/9.9hp connecting rod compatbility.

    Thanks! I was able to get a newer set of con rods and purchased wrist pin washers. Do they really just sit loose in there with the washer on both sides? Maybe its not that big of deal since these just would be a rocking motion anyway.

    15/9.9hp connecting rod compatbility.

    Do you know if the crank journals are the same size throughout the years? Wondering if the crankshaft would have to be newer as well.

    15/9.9hp connecting rod compatbility.

    I purchased a rebuild kit for my 1976 15hp Evinrude (15604A), and it looks like the WSM pistons have a larger wrist pin (.55" instead of .50"), and the kit came with 22 needle bearings instead of the roller cage bearing. My question is the following: Can I use these new pistons with the same...

    15/9.9 HP prop single prop shaft seal orientation - 396350

    I rebuilt my lower unit on my 1976 15hp Evinrude but the kit came with the single prop shaft seal 396350. Originally it had the back to back seals. What is the proper orientation for this seal?

    1976 OMC 15hp Cowling seal - alternatives

    Does anybody know if the larger OMC models like the V4 have the same cowling seal as the 9.9/15hp models? They don't make the cowling for my motor anymore, but it does look like the larger models use the same style and you could just cut to length? I'm in the final stages of restoring my...

    1976 15hp Evinrude prop shaft bearing depth

    Thanks! Is it safe to have it flush with the housing or should I drive it down further?

    1976 15hp Evinrude prop shaft bearing depth

    Hello, I am installing a new prop shaft bearing on my 1976 Evinrude 15hp and it appears the special tool: Johnson Evinrude OMC OEM Installer Bearing 0319875 is no longer available. I can easily install it with my arbor press and a 17mm socket, but the tool is shaped in a way so that it pushes to...
